NHG: are trouser socks not a thing anymore?

[Deleted]

I wear trouser socks all the time in cold weather with pants, and I usually buy a couple new pairs every year.  Not the sexiest thing in my wardrobe, but they are easy and comfortable to wear.  Today I go to Target during lunch and have trouser socks on the list.  I look in the sock/hosiery section for 10 minutes.  It was all Socks!  Tights! Leggings! galore.   Finally I noticed the only package they have on the bottom rack, and it was a 6 pack for $12.  I did not need that many pairs but could not find another substitute.  All the other socks were too thick for dress shoes and I prefer to wear tights only with dresses & skirts.  So I have trouser socks through the year 2020. LOL.  Are they not a thing anymore, or is just the time of year where they sell by the truckload?

I worked at Kohl's 100 years ago (ok, more like 12) and they always had them in stock.

I love trouser socks. I haven't looked for any lately, because I have a drawer full of them.

I think they're not a thing.

There's a whole category on Amazon dedicated to "Dress and Trouser socks."  So I'm going with "still a thing."

I never buy them myself, because my MIL's "thing" to put in stockings is socks, so I told her I prefer/most need trouser socks (skirting the fact that I'm very selective about my running socks).  So I get a stocking full every year that keep me in business.  I'm pretty sure the ones I usually wear are Hue.

I was at Target last night for the same thing. I found a few but not a ton. Also, who wears dressy/ dark ankle socks? I was having a hard time visualizing that application.

My grandma wears them. So Sears must sell them.

I think trouser socks are a must for winter, but what do I know?

I love trouser socks.

Walmart usually has them, but they do sell out quickly once it gets cold. Those and knee socks.

Well, they must still be a thing then and that's good because I would be miserable in winter otherwise! I'll bet they get snatched up this time of year as stocking stuffers and such, so that may explain why Target was nearly out.
